Have you ever tried to do something alone? It could be dieting, exercising, or anything else. It’s an uphill battle, and if you’re going at it by yourself, your odds are not very good.

Don’t go alone. If you’re dieting, join a friend who is also dieting. If you’re exercising, join a friend who is doing the same. This will establish some accountability, and you’ll be able to work on your goal.

Are you working on a blog post for a website? Find other people who are doing the same, and they can encourage you. Don’t do it alone. Your momentum will be a lot better if you have your friends to encourage you.

For me, I attend ideation once a week. Everyone there is encouraged to continue on their idea. Those who keep going will keep getting encouraged. For me, it’s like an idea gym. The ideas that work out the most turn into successful businesses. I don’t go alone and neither should you.

So the next time you’re doing something alone, try to see if there’s someone else that you can share the experience with. For us, we’re all sharing this journey together so we don’t have to be alone. It’s better this way and you have a much better chance to succeed.

What will there be next week? Since I’m busy with conference planning for Toastmasters, I won’t be attending ideation so I’ll try to think of something special.
